The preeminent beach destination Myanmar, Ngapali's 1.5-mile crescent of golden sand on the Bay of Bengal is increasingly attracting savvy international travelers looking to avoid the more crowded shores of Southeast Asia. Situated in the Myanmar's western Rakhine State, Ngapali is conveniently served by Thandwe airport, making it easy to add to an itinerary of Burma's main cultural centers.

Additionally, visitors can also go on a half-day tour of Ngapali to visit markets, handicraft shops, monasteries, and local villages.

Beach

Ngapali's beaches are a perfect complement to the wealth of cultural touring that Myanmar offers. Its soft white sands, warm tropical waters and ample palm tree shade make the perfect environment in which to reflect on your journey.

Kinmaw Village

Kinmaw village is a main market for the works of local potters and weavers from the Rakhine State (Myanmar's westernmost province).
